What's this?

Bottom line is players actually ON ACTIVE rosters- we’ve typically had 6-8

Any given year since late 80’s, and MANY were prominent players- Tony Collins and Earnest Byrne starting at RB in Super Bowls, Blake and Garrard starting at most important position on the field, Tootie Robbins and Terry Long starting for years at Oline, Rod Coleman making lots of sacks and getting big FA deals, Chris Johnson rushing for 2k and being a big name. Plenty of other examples. Lynval Joseph is on his last leg, and Zay Jones beat out but rookie.talent level has been declining for years....bums me out

Also, I me mentioned the bigger draft in existing poll (IN CAPITAL LETTERS)

Telling... Also the "experts" predicted 0 wins this year for ECU. Reality ** -- Pirate96 10/06/2020 10:38AM

True but you would be justified in assuming no wins on defense alone. -- highlow 10/06/2020 11:16AM

To the best of my knowledge the "experts" look at the entire picture..... -- Pirate96 10/06/2020 11:44AM

Yes. My point exactly. The "experts" only needed to look at the defense. -- highlow 10/06/2020 11:55AM
